This week I completed the starting and ending sequences. The starting sequence highlights important parts of the board like the river, palace, player’s side, and the opponent’s side. The ending sequence flashes white on the winner’s side of the board for 10 seconds. I switched to using an Arduino Uno 3 to control the data in into the LEDs but I will have to figure out how I am receiving data from the computer vision and the chess engine and see if the fact that these pieces of information may be send over HTTP commands means that I need to switch back to the Raspberry Pi4.
My progress is on schedule . The next week I hope to potentially switch to the Raspberry Pi 4. I am also planning to helping create and capture some board states with the LEDs in order to help the computer vision component. If integration with the other subsystems is ready, I may start the integration and at the very least verify that my subsystem is as complete as possible before the integration if the not possible.
